Installation of The Gimp
Install The Gimp by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc &&
make
To test the results, issue: make
check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
The gimp-help tarball contains
preformatted HTML for use with external web browsers, the internal
Gimp help browser, and HTML
renderers.
If you downloaded the gimp-help
tarball, unpack it and change into the root of the newly created
source tree. Issue the following commands as the root user to install the help files:
make install
Command Explanations
make check: Although
all the tests themselves are expected to pass, there is a bug in
the i18n file validation which will fail with a warning message for
the maintainer.
--without-libpng: This option is
necessary if libpng is not
installed.
--without-libjpeg: This option is
necessary if libjpeg is not
installed.
--without-libtiff: This option is
necessary if libtiff is not
installed.
--disable-python: This option is
necessary if you have not installed pygtk.
--enable-gtk-doc: Use this parameter if
GTK-Doc is installed and you wish
to rebuild and install the API documentation.
Configuring The Gimp
Config Files
/etc/gimp/2.0/* and ~/.gimp-2.6/gimprc
Configuration Information
The Gimp executes a
configuration wizard for each user upon their initial use of the
program.
The Gimp executes the
firefox web browser
by default to view the help files. If you do not have
firefox, or prefer a different
web browser, you can set a new system value in /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc. Execute the following
command as the root user,
replacing <browser> with your
preferred web browser:
echo '(web-browser "<browser> %s")' >> /etc/gimp/2.0/gimprc

is a console program that behaves as if The Gimp was called with the
--no-interface command-line
option.
|
|
gimptool-2.0
|
is a tool that can build plug-ins or scripts and install
them if they are distributed in one source file.
gimptool-2.0 can also
be used by programs that need to know what libraries and
include-paths The Gimp
was compiled with.

provides C bindings for The Gimp's Procedural Database (PDB)
which offers an interface to core functions and to
functionality provided by plug-ins.
|
|
libgimpbase-2.0.so
|
provides the C functions for basic Gimp functionality such as
determining enumeration data types, gettext translation,
